Chapter 369 (1/2)
The tribal base camp located in many yards learned that Yundan Jiena had been killed in the war, which naturally caused a panic and civil strife!
Yundan Jiena has four sons. It is reasonable to say that the eldest son should succeed and lead the tribe at this time.
But he didn't expect to die so soon. He was 50 years old, but he still maintained his physique of 30 years old.
Therefore, there is no hurry to set up an heir. After he has completed his career and has a stable foundation, he will choose the best one from several sons to inherit the throne.
Therefore, the four sons were unconvinced. After receiving the news, they argued with each other. No one could convince each other, and there was a conflagration on the spot.
Those who suffered losses immediately went back and mobilized their own troops to fight again, so the scale of civil strife gradually expanded to the whole tribe.
Wei Ran marched all the way for five days. When he arrived here, there had been several fires in the tribe, and the bodies of men and horses were everywhere. Some herdsmen fled and ran into Wei Ran and others. They didn't react for a moment. They thought it was another Prince's reinforcements and repeatedly apologized for mercy, claiming that they were neutral.
The officers and men of Wuwei army laughed. Wei burned an arrow and killed the herdsman. No matter who was in the conflagration, he was so stupid that he didn't leave. He immediately ordered the whole army to charge and kill people without leaving a living mouth!
The conflagration parties did not expect Wei Ran to kill suddenly. They also thought that the Tang army would mobilize troops and horses to rectify logistics. At least it would take some time to attack.
I didn't expect that the efficiency was so high that they didn't have any reaction time.
In order to kill the enemy more efficiently, the eight thousand elite cavalry of Wuwei army were divided into a group of thousands of cavalry and pursued everywhere.
One day after a fierce battle, Yundan jienadu's four sons couldn't run away. They caught two alive and killed two on the spot.
The 20000 elite left behind suffered heavy losses in the self conflagration. After such a sneak attack, they were completely destroyed.
Wei Ran ordered all the remaining herdsmen who could not escape and the captured prisoners who were defeated in the war to be slaughtered, leaving none!
Only when you become a devil can you frighten the devil!
Zhao Xuanqing only wanted to kill nobles, soldiers and prisoners. He still had compassion for ordinary herdsmen.
However, Wei Ran said: ”Hu Lu is afraid of authority but not virtue. Only by slaughtering the strongest tribe can other tribes sincerely submit. Barbarians don't believe in benevolence, righteousness and morality.”
Wu Xinfei deeply thought that, however, the people in their evil way did not have so many moral constraints and were ruthless in killing!
The total population of Yundan jienadu tribe is at least 150000. They burn themselves and consume nearly a quarter.
Although Wei's killing was heavy, many actually escaped while the chaos was in trouble. Only 80000 people were really killed and slaughtered.
Even so, this tribe, which was once strong on the plateau, was completely destroyed. Those who fled without the blood of Yundan and Nadu, and there were contradictions within them, so they could not re form a complete tribe.
These people either become horse thieves or join other tribes, but they will also spread the edge of the Tang army to other tribes and indirectly publicize the strength of the Wuwei army, which is more conducive to deterring and administering the scattered Tibetan tribes on the plateau in the future.
This war left a mess of corpses that were not cleaned up and deliberately revealed to other Tubo tribes. Just this is a great deterrent.
Then, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses in the tribe became booty and were swept back by the whole army. Not to mention cattle and sheep, those war horses alone are a huge sum of money!
Wei Yanzheng is thinking about how to tell Zhao Xuanqing about the distribution of stolen goods. A Li comes to him at this time.
”I found a lot of good things from the tent of Yundan jienadu. Many of them are precious medicinal materials, and even the pill prescription you use to practice your Kung Fu.”
Wei Ran could hardly sit still. ”That's a big harvest. What else are there? He is an owl, and there must be a lot of good things. ”
”Most things don't suit you very well. It's a pity.” Unfortunately, ah Li's tone was somewhat gloating.
